Making a comeback from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk facilitating loot scavenging. Accessible via the new Perk Machine in Citadelle des Morts, and the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases the chance of slain zombies dropping ammo and Essence. Augments further enhance its capabilities:

Major Augments:

  • Fetid Upgr-aid: Adds a chance for gas clouds to spawn from killed zombies, charging field upgrades.
  • Smell of Death: Killed zombies may drop concealing gas clouds.
  • Parting Gift: Ammo drops provide increased ammo for Wonder Weapons.

Minor Augments:

  • Condor’s Reach: Expands the auto-pickup loot radius.
  • Carrion Luggage: Critical kills yield a higher chance of extra Salvage.
  • Picky Eater: Increases the probability of dropping your currently equipped items.

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments

Light Mend, a brand-new Ammo Mod introduced alongside Citadelle des Morts, also functions on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps. Unlike other mods focused on zombie damage, Light Mend prioritizes player defense and healing. Its Light elemental damage bullets have a chance to convert enemy health into healing glyphs for nearby allies. Augments provide further customization:

Major Augments:

  • Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage touching enemies, but their duration is reduced.
  • Big Game: Enables activation on Elite enemies, dropping three additional healing glyphs.
  • Dual Action: Consuming a glyph accelerates healing temporarily.

Minor Augments:

  • Longer Life: Extends the healing glyph's lifespan.
  • Extra Strength: Increases health replenishment from glyph consumption.
  • Express Remedy: Increases the range at which glyphs reach allies.

Light Mend is unlocked through the Merry Mayhem Event.

Major Augments:

  • Shockwave: Upon activation, stuns and damages all nearby enemies.
  • Static Discharge: Creates a lethal electrical surge upon activation.
